If you're a Chase Freedom credit card user, you should already know that you can get 5% cash back on your purchases in certain categories. But did you know that those categories change every quarter and that you need to actually activate this free benefit? If not, it's a good thing you're reading this because you only have a few days left to activate your 5% cash back offer for the first quarter of 2011.
Chase's promotion this time around is 5% cash back on up to $1,500 spent at drug stores and grocery stores from January 1st through March 31st. That's a benefit of up to $75 on top of the 1% cash back you receive on all other purchases. But you have to activate the benefit by next Monday, March 14th, to make sure you get credit for everything you've spent all the way back through January. This is free money, so don't ignore the opportunity. Hop onto your online account today to activate, or you can do it from your cell phone if you're willing to sign up for text alerts of the promotions.
Even if you haven't spent $1,500 over the last 3 months at grocery stores and drug stores, we're still talking about free money here for a few seconds of your time. Don't miss out!
